Hantes, M. E.; Mastrokalos, D. S.; Yu, J.; Paessler, H. H. (2004)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that early motion increases tibial tunnel enlargement in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) replacement with hamstring autograft. Cohort analytic ...

Enterogastric reflux after various types of antiulcer gastric surgery: Quantitation by 99mTc-HIDA scintigraphy

Xynos, E.; Vassilakis, J. S.; Fountos, A.; Pechlivanides, G.; Karkavitsas, N. (1991)

In 28 controls and 142 patients subjected to a variety of antiulcer procedures, the enterogastric reflux (EGR) was quantitated by 99mTc-HIDA scintigraphy and expressed as the EGR index on 229 different occasions. The EGR ...
